25 times your mum was right about EVERYTHING

Basically at all times.

Like that time you dated that MORON just because all your friends had boyfriends, or that time everyone at your school owned jogging bottoms with poppers up the leg. Just... no.

2. When she told you that Dirty Dancing was the best film ever

It really is. Christain Grey ain't got nothing on Johnny Castle.

3. When she told you you could do anything you put your mind to

You really can, even if it took you YEARS (and a lot of phone calls to your mum) to figure that out.

6. When she told you not to get that tattoo in Newquay

Sure, you feel like a badass at the time, but you're just asking for trouble (by which we mean typos) if you get inked at 2 in the morning for a laugh. NO REGERTS?

7. When she told you not to mix your whites with ANY other colours

And check your pockets for tissues. (DAMN YOU DISSOLVED TISSUE PIECES THAT MAKE MY LAUNDRY LOOK LIKE IT'S BEEN IN THE SNOW!)

8. When she told you to appreciate her more

Why did you have to be such a pain in the butt for your entire time as a teenager?

Making your bed SUCKS. But that fresh bedding feeling? Oh em eff gee.

11. When she told you to stop wrecking your hair with ridiculous colours and tools

You will eventually realise your best (and cheapest) hair colour is the one you were born with. Kinda obvious, really.

12. When she asked you if you were going out dressed like that

You've seen the proof - you looked a mess.

14. When she told you to wear a condom

Well, DUH!

15. When she told you that spending about four months of pocket money on recreating All Saints' EXACT look was a waste of money

16. When she told you not to grow up too fast because one day you'll wish you were that age again

Sure, homework sucked. But 8.30-4pm days with two breaks and HALF A YEAR OF HOLIDAY? Those really were were the days.

17. When she told you not to let the little things get you down

Tumblr

18. When she told you to be careful how much you drank before that big family meal

Annoying questions from your relatives AND banging headache? Nothing makes a hangover worse than strained conversation when all you really want to do is crawl up in a ball and eat your bodyweight in cheese.

19. When she told you to wear sun lotion

20. When she told you not to go OTT with eyebrow plucking

They really don't grow back. FML.

21. When she told you sex should be with someone you love

Sure, you loved that hot guy you had that one night stand with in his own special way. But the awkward fumbling and morning after? Yeah, she had a point.

22. When she told you to save up for one proper handbag rather than splurging on three a year

Saving up SUCKS. But it also sucks when your £35 pleather tote breaks every four months.

23. When she told you to hang onto your childhood pictures, toys and tapes

You didn't listen, but she kept them anyway and now you get to look through your MAJORLY impressive Spice Girls photo collection all over again. Never was pocket money so well spent.

24. When she said one day you'd miss home

Pretty sure you never grow out of feeling CRAP for at least 2 days after you've experienced a weekend of hugs and home-cooked food, only to return to your 'independent adult' life which largely involves being skint and hungover.
